Study to show thyself approved unto God

A different slant on Christianity

"The Prophetic Outlook is the pioneering Christian info-site dedicated to fostering growth and maturity for emerging Christians seeking new paradigms for success. Prophetic Outlook provides the latest revelations from God's generals—anointed writers who are unveiling current and future prophetic events to reform the church and release God's power in society. 

Among these generals is Apostle/Prophet Joshua Giles, regarded as the most accurate prophet in God's Kingdom.

Apostle Ed Silvoso is another key figure, offering new paradigms to elevate the church to greater heights. Lastly, 

Evangelist Isaac Pitre stands out as one of the most gifted speakers in God's Kingdom." 

"Our mission at The Prophetic Outlook is to chronicle God's best for those seeking genuine experiences in His kingdom and aiming to reach new heights in their walk with Him. The devil has flooded the internet and social media with false churches and ministers, adept at entertainment, that overwhelm those inexperienced in discerning the wheat from the chaff. Our mission is to expose the chaff and highlight God's wheat for your spiritual nourishment." 

"The image of the church needs revitalization. Social media pundits have launched an all-out assault on the church, and the decline of influential leaders like TD Jakes has significantly impacted its image and moral standing. Numerous scandals across various churches have further tarnished its reputation. The core issue lies in the church's misperception of itself as a playground rather than a battleground. The church must return to spiritual and political warfare, safeguarding its image both within its walls and in secular society to restore its superior moral character." 

"Churches must take up the mantle of community restoration and renew the spiritual climate and atmosphere in their respective communities. For too long, the influence of the devil has controlled the environment in minority communities. Churches must become more involved in local politics to obtain the resources needed to effect spiritual and moral changes in their communities."

The church must return to community evangelism and not rely solely on social media marketing. Jesus taught the disciples to reach people through personal, human connections. In Luke 10:5, He says, “Whenever you enter someone’s home, first say, ‘May God’s peace be on this house.’” The technology of social media has distorted the gospel's human touch and needs to be restored if the church is to help in the battle against mental health issues. People need real-life human interaction, something you cannot get through a computer camera.

Churches need to make bible class more personal by instituting a list of books and study guides that allows each person to be responsible for part of their own spiritual growth. While maturity comes through experience, growth comes through reading and studying your bible under the auspices of the Holy Spirit, as well as, commentaries on biblical subjects and listening to as many quality sermons from reputable preachers and teachers.

Churches need to transition from solely focusing on gospel teachings to training their members in exercising the gifts of the Spirit. The level of training in the gifts of the Spirit is almost non-existent in most churches. If most people in the church never heard another sermon in their life, they have heard more than enough. The issue with the church is not its familiarity with biblical stories, but its lack of power. Christians need to become more adept at higher spiritual levels of power and unity. Each Christian should be knowledgeable and skillful in their particular God-given gift, which helps the church to unify and mature, and allows it to become a formidable foe to their adversary, the devil.

New Paradigms for Emerging Christian Success

 

There are many different types of prayers, each serving a unique purpose and reflecting various aspects of spirituality and faith. Here are a few common types:

  1. Adoration: This type of prayer focuses on worshiping and praising the divine. It's about expressing love and reverence for a higher power.
  2. Confession: In these prayers, individuals acknowledge their sins and ask for forgiveness. It's a way to seek reconciliation and cleansing.
  3. Thanksgiving: These prayers are all about gratitude. People thank the divine for blessings, guidance, and support.
  4. Supplication: Also known as petitions, these prayers involve asking for help, guidance, or specific needs for oneself or others.
  5. Intercession: This type of prayer is when someone prays on behalf of others, asking for blessings, healing, or support for them.
  6. Meditation: While not always considered a traditional prayer, meditation involves quiet reflection and seeking a deeper connection with the divine.
  7. Lamentation: These prayers express sorrow, grief, or mourning, often seeking comfort and understanding during difficult times.


Jesus' prophecy of the "days of sorrow" is often associated with his teachings about the end times, particularly in the Olivet Discourse found in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. 

In these passages, Jesus describes a period of great tribulation and distress that will precede his second coming. 

He speaks of wars, famines, earthquakes, and other natural disasters as signs of these times. 

Additionally, he mentions the persecution of believers, false prophets, and the spread of lawlessness. 

Despite the grim nature of these predictions, Jesus also emphasizes the importance of remaining faithful and vigilant, encouraging his followers to endure and stay true to their faith. This prophecy serves as both a warning and a call to steadfastness for those who believe in his teachings.


The Book of Revelation

The Book of Revelation, also known as the Apocalypse, is the final book of the New Testament and the Bible. It is a prophetic and apocalyptic text that reveals visions and messages given to the Apostle John while he was exiled on the island of Patmos. Here are some key themes and elements of the Book of Revelation:

1. The Revelation of Jesus Christ

The book begins with the declaration that it is the revelation of Jesus Christ, given to John to show His servants what must soon take place (Revelation 1:1). It emphasizes the sovereignty and glory of Jesus as the risen and exalted Lord.

2. Letters to the Seven Churches

In chapters 2 and 3, Jesus addresses seven churches in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). Each letter contains commendations, criticisms, exhortations, and promises. These letters provide insights into the spiritual state of the churches and offer guidance for faithfulness and repentance.

3. Visions of Heaven and the Throne of God

John is given a vision of the heavenly throne room, where he sees God seated on the throne, surrounded by worshippers, and the Lamb (Jesus) who is worthy to open the scroll with seven seals (Revelation 4-5). This vision emphasizes God's majesty and the centrality of Jesus in God's redemptive plan.

4. The Seven Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls

The book describes a series of judgments that unfold in three sets of seven: the seven seals, the seven trumpets, and the seven bowls. These judgments bring various calamities and plagues upon the earth, symbolizing God's wrath against sin and the ultimate triumph of His justice (Revelation 6-16).

5. The Battle Between Good and Evil

Revelation depicts the cosmic struggle between good and evil, including the rise of the Antichrist (the beast), the false prophet, and their persecution of the saints. It also describes the ultimate defeat of Satan and his forces (Revelation 12-20).

6. The Millennial Reign and Final Judgment

The book describes a thousand-year reign of Christ on earth, known as the Millennial Reign, during which Satan is bound. After this period, Satan is released for a final rebellion but is ultimately defeated and cast into the lake of fire. This is followed by the final judgment, where the dead are judged according to their deeds (Revelation 20).

7. The New Heaven and New Earth

Revelation concludes with a vision of a new heaven and a new earth, where God dwells with His people. The New Jerusalem descends from heaven, and there is no more death, mourning, crying, or pain. This vision represents the ultimate fulfillment of God's redemptive plan and the eternal joy of the redeemed (Revelation 21-22).

Conclusion

The Book of Revelation provides a powerful and symbolic portrayal of the ultimate victory of God over evil, the establishment of His eternal kingdom, and the hope of eternal life for believers. It calls for faithfulness, perseverance, and worship of the one true God, offering a message of hope and encouragement to Christians facing trials and persecution. How does this understanding of Revelation resonate with your studies or beliefs?

 Here are some key points. 

  1. Restoration of Israel: Many prophecies speak of the restoration of Israel as a nation. This includes the return of the Jewish people to their homeland, which some believe was fulfilled with the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.
  2. Rebuilding of the Temple: Some interpretations of prophecy suggest that the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem will be rebuilt before the Tribulation. This is based on passages in books like Daniel and Revelation.
  3. Peace Treaties: There are prophecies about Israel entering into a significant peace treaty, often associated with the Antichrist. This treaty is believed to mark the beginning of the Tribulation period.
  4. Gog and Magog: The prophecy of Gog and Magog in Ezekiel 38-39 describes a future invasion of Israel by a coalition of nations. This event is seen by some as a precursor to the Tribulation.
  5. 144,000 Sealed: Revelation 7 mentions 144,000 individuals from the tribes of Israel who will be sealed and protected during the Tribulation. This is often interpreted as a sign of God's continued covenant with Israel.
  6. These prophecies are interpreted in various ways depending on theological perspectives. They are central to many eschatological (end times) beliefs and continue to be a topic of much discussion and study.


Millennial Reign of Jesus

The concept of the Millennial Reign of Jesus is primarily found in the book of Revelation, specifically in Revelation 20:1-6. This passage describes a period of a thousand years during which Christ will reign on earth. The chapter begins with an angel descending from heaven, holding the key to the Abyss and a great chain. The angel seizes Satan, binds him for a thousand years, and throws him into the Abyss, locking and sealing it to prevent him from deceiving the nations during this period.

During this thousand-year reign, Christ will rule on earth, and those who have been martyred for their testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and who did not worship the beast or its image, will be resurrected and reign with Christ. This is referred to as the first resurrection. The rest of the dead will not come to life until the thousand years are ended.

The Millennial Reign is characterized by peace, justice, and righteousness. Christ’s rule brings about a time of unparalleled harmony and prosperity. Many Old Testament prophecies are believed to be fulfilled during this period, including those found in Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, which speak of a future time of peace and restoration for Israel and the world.

After the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison and will deceive the nations once more, leading them into battle against the saints and the beloved city. However, fire from heaven will devour them, and Satan will be thrown into the lake of fire, where he will be tormented forever.

Following the Millennial Reign, the final judgment will take place. The dead will be judged according to their deeds, and anyone whose name is not found written in the book of life will be thrown into the lake of fire.

The Millennial Reign of Jesus represents a period of Christ’s righteous rule on earth, the binding of Satan, and the fulfillment of many biblical prophecies. This period culminates in the final defeat of Satan and the ultimate judgment of all humanity.

God's Biblical Concept of Stewardship

Stewardship, according to the Bible, is the responsible management of the resources and gifts that God has entrusted to individuals. It encompasses various aspects of life, including time, talents, finances, and the environment. Here’s a detailed explanation:

1. Ownership and Responsibility

  • Ownership: The Bible teaches that everything belongs to God. Psalm 24:1 states, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it." This means that humans are not owners but stewards of God's creation.
  • Responsibility: As stewards, individuals are responsible for managing God's resources wisely and faithfully. This includes taking care of the environment, using talents and abilities for God's glory, and managing finances with integrity.

2. Stewardship of Time

  • Time Management: Believers are called to use their time wisely, making the most of every opportunity (Ephesians 5:15-16). This involves prioritizing activities that honor God and contribute to His kingdom.
  • Sabbath Rest: God instituted the Sabbath as a day of rest and worship (Exodus 20:8-11). Observing the Sabbath is an act of stewardship, recognizing the need for rest and spiritual renewal.

3. Stewardship of Talents and Gifts

  • Using Talents: God has given each person unique talents and spiritual gifts to be used for the common good (1 Peter 4:10). Believers are encouraged to develop and use their abilities to serve others and advance God's kingdom.
  • Parable of the Talents: In Matthew 25:14-30, Jesus tells the parable of the talents, illustrating the importance of using one's gifts responsibly and productively.

4. Stewardship of Finances

  • Tithing and Generosity: The Bible encourages believers to give a portion of their income back to God as an act of worship and trust (Malachi 3:10). Generosity towards others is also emphasized (2 Corinthians 9:6-7).
  • Wise Management: Financial stewardship involves budgeting, saving, and avoiding debt. Proverbs 21:20 highlights the wisdom of saving for the future.

5. Stewardship of the Environment

  • Creation Care: God entrusted humans with the responsibility to care for the earth (Genesis 2:15). This includes protecting natural resources, reducing waste, and promoting sustainability.
  • Respect for Creation: Recognizing the intrinsic value of all creation and treating it with respect reflects God's love for His handiwork.

6. Accountability and Reward

  • Accountability: Stewards are accountable to God for how they manage His resources. Romans 14:12 reminds believers that each person will give an account of themselves to God.
  • Reward: Faithful stewardship is rewarded by God. In the parable of the talents, the faithful servants are commended and rewarded for their diligence (Matthew 25:21).

Conclusion

Stewardship is a holistic concept that encompasses all areas of life. It is about recognizing God's ownership, managing resources responsibly, and using everything entrusted to us for His glory. By practicing good stewardship, believers honor God and contribute to the well-being of His creation and community.
